Obstetric neonatal brachial plexus and facial nerve injuries: A 17 years single tertiary maternity hospital experience.

Objectives: To establish the incidence of obstetric neonatal brachial plexus and facial nerve injuries in a tertiary maternity hospital in the United Kingdom and to identify associated risk factors with an emphasis on the time of delivery.

Study Design: From our hospital electronic data bases we identified all live births born between 2000 and 2016 and those neonates who sustained a nerve injury during delivery. We performed a logistic regression analysis linking "facial nerve injury" and "brachial plexus injury" with variables for which we had complete cohort data including "breech", "gestation", "sex", "birthweight", "day of week", "time of delivery", "method of delivery", "singleton/multiple deliveries" and "number of deliveries per day".

Neonatal birth fractures: a retrospective tertiary maternity hospital review.

We aimed to identify the incidence and types of neonatal birth fractures in a single tertiary maternity hospital in the United Kingdom and to find possible associated factors, including all live births born between 2000 and 2016. We reviewed hospital records and imaging of all neonates who had any imaging done to identify birth fractures. We identified 87,461 consecutive live births.

Internet use among head and neck cancer survivors in the North West of England.

In general, use of the internet by patients in their healthcare is increasing. However, its use specifically among those with head and neck cancer in the UK has not been reported. The aims of this study were to report access to the internet by survivors of head and neck cancer, to indicate where it fits within their information sources, how they have used it, and how they might use it in future.
